[edit] "Dubious" tags: Are these the same games?
Can someone please present some evidence that the game called "Warhawk" on the PS1 and PS3 are in fact conversions or at least based upon the 1986 Firebird game?
Given the time disparity, and the fact that Firebird's game was a £1.99 UK budget release, it's more reasonable to assume (in the absence of any supporting evidence) that they are unrelated games which just happened to have the same name.

- Hmm... well, I've never actually played any of the games myself (I do plan to get the PS3 version, however), so I'm not sure. I just read the PS1 and PS3 articles and assumed all the information is correct.

- Can you please provide a link to the articles in question if they're on the web? Thanks. Fourohfour 13:10, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

- What? I'm talking about the Wikipedia articles for the PS1 and PS3 Warhawk games. They both mentioned the Commodrore 64 version so I assumed the information was correct. Mrmoocow 21:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

- Anyway, I'll do some research and find out. Mrmoocow 21:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nothing concrete yet, however: Warhawk on Gamespot it is listed under 'Same Universe' as th PS version. Mrmoocow 21:50, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

- That's *really* pushing things so far as evidence goes. Maybe they just assumed, maybe it was an oversight in categorisation, who knows?
-
- Honestly, if the PS/PS3 versions genuinely were related to the original version, it should be relatively easy to find a few statements clearly indicating this from reputable sources- preferably from the company itself. Otherwise, I'd like to take the assertion out of all articles in which it appears. Fourohfour 13:10, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

- This news story says:

| “ | Warhawk for the Playstation 3 is a remake of the original Warhawk video game that was released way back on the Commodore 64 (and again for the Playstation later on). | ” |

- I also came across this story which somewhat strengthens the case. I'm still wary because I haven't come across anything from Sony themselves that claim it's a remake, and it's possible that those sites are jumping to conclusions and/or repeating someone else's assumption.
- To be honest, I probably wouldn't be making such a big deal of this, but for the fact that the original was never *that* famous a game; music aside, it's not one that gets masses of exposure, and it begs the question as to why Sony would remake it. Fourohfour 13:15, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
